Abstract
Until recently comparatively little attention has been paid to the fast-growing field of day care provision for adults. The National Day Care Project set out to provide some of the basic information required about day units for all adult client groups. This paper draws on data from the project. It develops a simple classification of day centres for the elderly, and shows very great differences between local authorities in the type and quantity of day centres they provide for this client group. The evidence further suggests that the users perceive themselves as receiving more benefit from some types of day centre than they do from others.
